Ballpoint needles : These needles have slightly rounded tips and are designed to part the fibres of knit fabrics rather than piercing them to prevent damaging fabric. Batten : This is a length of wood to attach a blind, pelmet or valance to a window frame. Batting : American term for wadding Basting : Large stitching to temporarily join a seam.

Tension : Tautness of the stitch which comes from the pressure being exerted between the needle and bobbin. On a sewing machine there are two types of tension – thread and bobbin. Toile : This is a garment made from cheap fabric such as Calico and is used to ‘prove’ a pattern and to make sure the pattern fits perfectly. This is important to do when using expensive and delicate fabrics where alterations would mark like silk wedding dresses. Topstitching : A row of stitching that should be visible on the finished garment. Top stitching can be decorative and/or functional as it also serves to hold facings in place. Tuck : A larger version of Pintuck – a fold in fabric that is stitched down. Turn of the cloth: This refers to the amount of fabric that is taken up in the fold when fabric is folded into two or turned through to right side. Particularly important to consider when dealing with bulky fabrics. Tracing wheel : Used with carbon paper, it is a little serrated wheel that when rolled over the carbon paper, transfers the colour to fabric to mark placement lines for darts, pleats etc. Trim : 1.Thin decorative strip such as ribbon or lace that is placed on a garment. 2. Term used to describe cutting away excess fabric from seam allowances. U U Underlining : Lining used to add body to a garment, placed between main fabric and interfacing. Also known as Interlining. Understitching : A row of stitching through seam allowances and facings, very close to seam that attaches facing to main garment. Used to stop lining or facings from rolling out. Universal needle : A needle which has a slightly rounded tip. Used for woven and knit fabrics. V V View : Found on paper patterns and refers to the variations in style of the garment. W W Wadding : Flat material used to stuff and pad, usually cotton, wool or fiberfill. (Also known as Batting). Walking foot : A presser foot for a sewing machine that allows even sewing over lots of layers or thicker fabric as it helps to grip the fabric layers and ‘walks’ it through when sewing. A menacing looking foot that is very useful! Warp : Term describing the way the threads run lengthways through a woven fabric. Also known as ‘lengthwise grain’. Weft : Term describing the way the threads run at right angles to the length of a woven fabric. Also known as ‘cross grain’. Welt : A method for covering raw edges of a pocket. This is the visible part of the binding on a buttonhole or pocket opening that looks like a lip. Whipstitch : Strong over-edged hand stitch used for joining two edges together. Wing needle : A wide wing shaped needle which is flared at the sides to purposefully leave holes in fabric as it stitches. Use a wing needle on woven fabrics for heirloom stitching. Wrong side : This is the side of the fabric without the design – the side to be used as under or inside. X X Y Y Z Z Zigzag stitch : A stitch that goes diagonally side to side to produce a decorative finish to a seam or join two layers next to each other.

Hampshire Back to sewing courses Suzie Carley at the Southampton Sewing Hub About The Sewing Hub is a warm welcoming community space founded by Suzie Carley (BA Hons in Fashion Design), a fashion designer/maker based in Southampton. After working at the local Environment Centre and in local government Suzie decided to follow her lifelong passion for fashion and began to provide a design and make + alteration service for local brides in 2011. Her ethos very much centres on the need to care about our planet and the people on it and she is committed to sharing knowledge, equipment and resources in order to reduce the negative environmental impact fashion inevitably has. The Sewing Hub is in the process of becoming a Community Interest Companyand aims to offer opportunities to be ‘sewcial’, raise self esteem through creative and relaxing activities. Our Vibe The Studio is unique in that it is a professionally equipped micro manufacturing hub, with flexible bookable ‘incubator’/co-working space for local designer/makers enabling them to bring their creations to life using Juki industrial machines, a full height cutting table, steam iron and other equipment. Once a month we aim to have guest speakers and local artisans joining us bringing the community together. It’s a shared space for all abilities. Location The Sewing Hub is situated in a fully accessible building which was previously a school for children who experienced disability. Now ‘Unity 12’ is the home of the Centre for Independent Living run by ‘Spectrum' with additional co-working space and conference facilities near the centre of Southampton. It’s within easy walking distance of a number of bus routes and has on-site parking. The studio is on the ground floor, occupying what used to be a classroom, with plenty of natural light and double doors leading directly from the carpark. There is an accessible toilet, a shared kitchen with fridge for learners to use and we provide a variety of refreshments. Classes and Courses We offer a beginner’s class for those who haven’t used a sewing machine before or who wish to go over the basics again. For those with more experience and confidence we offer workshops and ‘sewcials’ covering a variety of skills e.g. buttonholes, zippers. Whatever your experience, you can also book a 1:1 session for individual support for unfinished projects, pattern cutting, and fitting issues. We have regular events such as a Sewing Circle for those that like to be ‘sociable’ and share their tips and tricks and work on their own projects. Participants are welcome to bring in their own sewing machines for the Sewing Circle, but if not we have you covered with access to a bank of the Janome 725S (used on the Sewing Bee 2019). It’s ‘the perfect modern mechanical machine for beginners’ to learn the basics and great for taking you through to the more advanced projects. Don’t Overlook Your Overlocker is our course to help build your confidence and discover the magic of the amazing Janome 6234XL which helps achieve a professional finish for a range of clothing and crafting projects. Re-Hash the Trash is an upcycling course that is inspirational if you enjoy the challenge of making your own clothes. You can revamp items from your wardrobe and keep good garments out of landfill. We also host an informal weekly Crafting Corner, a group for support with knitting, crochet and embroidery. For those who want to make a start with knitting, we can supply beech needles, yarn, a basic pattern and support for a small charge. Refreshments are always at hand, come along and get involved. We follow a sustainable business model, and do our utmost to reduce our environmental impact, therefore our fabric stash is always on offer for classes and courses. As an evolving Community Interest Company, we are keen that users of the hub engage and contribute to what happens here.

The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge. The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. ​ Much of the UK ‘s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill. Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. Janome UK Ltd is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. For example, if a customer bought a new sewing machine from us we would accept their old sewing machine and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below: Returns Policy If for any reason you are not satisfied with a product purchased via our Online Shop, you may return it for a refund.
